Rory Lynch
Rory Lynch is a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer in Santa Cruz, CA. He migrated to the West Coast after a stint in NYC, headlining shows at venues like The Bitter End and Pianos. His decision to move inspired a new collection of songs showcasing classic genres like country, jazz, and pop while blending in traditional Americana themes. Rory’s smooth, deep croon harkens back to the first days of Country Folk and fits nicely next to modern artists like Orville Peck and Sturgill Simpson. Recently, he has been recording at Wind River Studios with plans to release his debut full-length album in Spring 2022.

Raison d'etre
Raison d’etre (Thomas Burks & Stephen Pavlik) has been making music together for over a year. They play various musical styles, all based on their combined history. Thomas comes from West Texas, so he leans a little on the countryside, yet he grew up listening to the rock music of the 60s, 70s, and beyond. Stephen was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pa., and has been influenced by just about every musical genre, including classical and jazz. Together, they have a very eclectic portfolio of music from other artists and their compositions.

Benny Basset
You are always close to home if you live on the road. For Benny Bassett, the California native now based out of New Mexico, the past four years have proven this sentiment. After a band split in 2015, Benny strapped on his road-tested Gibson and headed out on the highways to bring his unique blend of soulful acoustic rock to anyone who would listen. 400,000 road miles later, Benny has proven that there is no fan too far and no stage where his music cannot connect with the listener.

He has played music all of his life, mainly in a support role, as a bassist or a drummer, but started writing his music when the pandemic hit. He draws from his experience playing in other bands and living in the desert and on the coast for his sound, a blend of Indie, Americana, Folk, and Rock.
